Alumni Profile

Andrea Praet, Class of 2003 Senior Trend Specialist, WGSN

“LIM gave me the freedom to explore and focus on what interested me. The College also gave me confidence – because of its small size and attentive staff, I wasn’t just a number. They knew my name and what I wanted to pursue.”

A native of Freehold, New Jersey who majored in Fashion Merchandising and minored in Visual Merchandising, today Andrea is a Senior Trend Specialist at WGSN, a global company that provides fashion and design businesses with the intelligence to drive commercially successful products and services.

Andrea is constantly out and about visiting stores, events, exhibits etc. in order to be in the know. Even when she’s back home in New Jersey, she heads to the mall to see what people are really wearing. A “people person,” Andrea loves the constant communication and relationships she builds with clients.
